Which Diesel Has The Most Torque?
 
Im looking at buying a diesel truck and was wondering which one has the most torque and towing capability. I am looking at the cummins mega cab, the chevy duamax, or the powerstroke f250. I want to get one of the newish models. Somewhere from around 04 and up. Ive never owned a diesel and want to buy the right one if im gonna spend the money. So what year/make would be the best choice?

I can speak for dodges and fords up to the 6.0L I really like how dodge pull they have a lower end torque and powerstrokes have higher end torque, and the cababilities of each truck depends on what diff ratio and springs you rig is set up with. Our 6.0L F-350 If towed with it at full GVW of truck and trailer and hay was 42000 pounds and it got to 55 and 5 mpg wouldent want to go up hill with it. Ive towed 12000 Max with my truck and Im comfortable towing with that. Its really where you want your torque to be at, 98-02 dodges are 480FTlbs and 03-07 fords 6.0L are 500+ Ftlbs I belives and the new common rail dodges varies from year to year but after 05 I think they were closer to 600 correct me if im wrong. But cummins is by far my favorite diesels but they still have their quirks too just like any engine around.
